"not acceptable" and "wrong" — that's how the prime minister has described remarks from the tory party's former deputy chairman, lee anderson, which sparked a row over islamaphobia. mr anderson had claimed the mayor of london, sadiq khan, was controlled by islamists. when he refused to apologise for saying that, he was suspended from the conservative party. and in this morning, in a statement to gb news, lee anderson says he wont apologise for the remarks.

protests in london, mr anderson said he felt disgusted, islamist had taken control, and it was because of london's mayor. sadiq khan, the most senior elected politician, had given the capital away, mr anderson said, to what he called his mates. yet will i do not believe that these islamists have got control of our country, but what i do believe as they have got control of sadiq khan and control of london. the today programme, the labour party chair anneliese dodds said those comments were a slur on the mayor of london, a clear example of collective prejudice towards muslims. you have ou had prejudice towards muslims. you have you had said — prejudice towards muslims. you have you had said yourself _ prejudice towards muslims. you have you had said yourself that _ prejudice towards muslims. you have you had said yourself that those - you had said yourself that those remarks — you had said yourself that those remarks were targeted at sadiq khan. pretty— remarks were targeted at sadiq khan. pretty much purely because of the fact that _ pretty much purely because of the fact that he was muslim. that is absolutely appalling. i would have said the _ absolutely appalling. i would have said the same if those remarks were targeted _ said the same if those remarks were targeted again someone purely because — targeted again someone purely because they were a woman or christian— because they were a woman or christian or a jewish person. we really— christian or a jewish person. we really do — christian or a jewish person. we really do need to make sure that our politics— really do need to make sure that our politics is_ really do need to make sure that our politics is a _ really do need to make sure that our politics is a place where everyone

1:05 pm
will get a new tally of the number of mps who have signed a non—binding but still very significant motion calling for the speaker, basically, to resign. at the end of last week, when the mps broke for the weekend, it was more than one in ten of mps, pretty significant. we also have the scottish national party demanding a binding vote on compelling the government to take various diplomatic actions in the middle east. i think so lindsay hoyle is extremely unlikely to grant that, but then there is a question about how the snp respond if, when he doesn't. also, ithink how the snp respond if, when he doesn't. also, i think this fairly bitter row is linked to the even more bitter row that you were just discussing about lee anderson's comments. what followed from so lindsay hoyle's decision last week was a real debate in westminster and particularly on the political right, both within and outside the conservative party, about the threat of islamist extremism. how much of a threat it is, how it should be defined, but the government should
1:06 pm
do to combat it. that was the debate that re—anderson was wading into. now there is disagreement within the conservative party about whether what lee anderson was wrong, as rishi sunak says, whether it should be defined as islamophobic and racist. howeverthat be defined as islamophobic and racist. however that row resolves itself and however lee anderson's political future is settled, that broader debate about islamist extremism and what politics should do or not do about it is already raging. do or not do about it is already rain. , do or not do about it is already raauin. , ., ~ do or not do about it is already raauin. , ., , . raging. henry, thank you very much. henry zeffman _ raging. henry, thank you very much. henry zeffman reporting. _ millions of us still rely on letters for things like hospital appointments, bank statements and tax returns, but a bbc panorama investigation shows royal mail is not always delivering. in one case, it had to apologise to a woman whose young son missed an operation because her nhs letters were either late or never arrived. last year royal mail was fined more than £5 million for missing targets. zoe conway reports.

royal mail ended the year with a £5.6 million fine from the regulator ofcom. a former royal mail area manager, who left recently, has talked anonymously for tonight's panorama. he says he will show short staffed that for weeks at a time he instructed postal workers to leave letters behind, and that senior management knew what he was doing. if a delivery office manager is making the decision that letters are going to have to be left behind on a certain day, would they have been acting against the wishes of senior management?— acting against the wishes of senior| management?_ our management? absolutely not. our whistle-blower _ management? absolutely not. our whistle-blower says _ management? absolutely not. our whistle-blower says that _ management? absolutely not. our whistle-blower says that when i management? absolutely not. our whistle-blower says that when he l management? absolutely not. our. whistle-blower says that when he was whistle—blower says that when he was there, it would have been clearfrom company data what was going on and that letters weren't being delivered on time. last year, ofcom said it hadn't found evidence of partial

1:10 pm
third more expensive in areas with a high number of people from ethnic backgrounds. prices were higher in these areas even when less diverse parts of the country have similar road accident and crime levels. nick eardley from bbc verify has been looking into this for us. nick, tell us what have you found out? it isa it is a complicated world, insurance, isn't it? there isn't a great deal of information available about exactly how insurance premiums are calculated. but bbc verify has been looking at some factors which appear to have a significant impact. if you live in an area with a lot of people from ethnic minorities, you're paying what's been dubbed by some as an ethnicity penalty. let me explain a bit about how we figured this out. we looked at thousands of addresses, in every local authority in england. all of the details we provided were the same — a 30—year—old teacher, driving a ford fiesta. the only thing we changed was the address.
1:11 pm
but on a price comparison website, if you're in an area where there are more people from ethnic minority backgrounds, your costs go up. and they go up a lot. have a look here at a specific example — just outside of birmingham — sandwell. these two areas are similar. they have comparable levels of crime and similar levels of car accidents, but this area here has a much higher ethnic minority population. it'sjust under 50%. we went on an insurance comparison website and got quotes. here, princes end, we were quoted just under £2,000 per year to insure our car. but here, great bridge, with its higher ethnic minority population. the quote was £800 more. almost £2,800. this is not an isolated example.
1:12 pm
this was happening all over england when we did these searches. on average, car insurance quotes were 33% higher in the most ethnically diverse parts of england. citizens advice have dubbed this an "ethnicity premium". the association of british insurers — the group that represents insurance firms — said insures consider a wide range of "risk related factors". they said insurers do not and cannot use ethnicity as a factor when setting prices. but they also accepted our findings, saying they raised "an important public policy debate". so, perhaps more questions to come about how insurance premiums are calculate. nick, thank you very much indeed. nick, thank you very much indeed. nick eardley reporting. the boss of ryanair says holiday—makers will face higher fares this summer because new boeing planes are being delivered late.
1:13 pm
chief executive michael 0'leary says the delayed delivery of the aircraft will constrain capacity for passengers. he said that ryanair�*s ticket prices could be up to 10% more expensive this summer as a result. a woman who livestreamed herself killing, dissecting and blending the body of a cat before fatally attacking a man and leaving him to drown in a river is due to be sentenced in the next hour. 26—year—old scarlet blake targeted jorge martin carreno as he walked home from a night out in oxford injuly 2021. duncan kennedy is at oxford crown court. duncan, what's the latest? well, all morning we have been hearing from the prosecution about what sentence should be handed out in this case, and also the defence, and also impact statements from jorge martin carreno's family. the case itself does go back tojuly
1:14 pm
2021 when scarlet blake lured jorge martin carreno to the river in oxford, hit him over the head, 0xford, hit him over the head, strangled him, and pushed him into the river where he drowned. the prosecution said she was obsessed with murder and sexual gratification. scarlet blake thought she got away with it. it was only two years later that her former partner, living in the united states, called british police to say that scarlet blake had confessed to the killing and she was arrested. in those impact statements, we heard from jorge martin carreno's mother carmen, speaking in spanish through a chance, translator, she told the court, he was a beloved son, brother, and incredible affection and friendliness, and he was a good person. scarlet blake will be sentenced for the murder and also that incident involving the cat this afternoon. , .. that incident involving the cat this afternoon. , ., ~ , ., , afternoon. duncan, thank you very much indeed- _ afternoon. duncan, thank you very much indeed. duncan _ afternoon. duncan, thank you very much indeed. duncan kennedy- much indeed. duncan kennedy reporting. the housing secretary, michael gove, has promised to reform the leasehold system before the general election. england and wales are the only
1:15 pm
countries in the world where leases are still widespread. the system means owners pay for a lease to live in a property for a specified number of years, but critics say it's rife with exploitation and poor service and should be abolished. phil hendry reports. when storm eunice struck britain two years ago, it wasn't just the coast that took a battering, so did the roof of liz winstanley�*s top floor flat in manchester. there was just water coming in everywhere, through the light sockets, through the plug sockets. it was a nightmare. this is a funnel system that they had erected to try to stop the water... because liz bought her flat as leasehold, she says she has had a protracted battle with her managing agent to get repairs done. all the while having to pay her service charge. you have mould, as well. yeah, really, really bad. so protracted, in fact, that mould started to grow. the entire flat had to be gutted and rebuilt. she has onlyjust moved back in.
1:16 pm
while it is nice to be back home, you know, there are still issues. i have got no heating, there is various accounts that we have not been able to see, not being able to control the service charge. so i wouldn't touch leasehold again, and i wish i never had. managing agents firstport said it recognised residents like liz faced challenges, but delays were down to a structural defect in the roof. the government says its new leasehold legislation will make it easier for people like liz to take legal action against rogue freeholders and managing agents, and provide greater transparency about the service charges that they have to pay. in london's canary wharf, anna scoffin would certainly like more transparency. i am so angry. i am not living the life i should live. her service charges have shot up in two years to £33,000 a year. it is extortion, and we are being ripped off. even if you are wealthy and you want to buy a fabulous flat
1:17 pm
somewhere, please don't, because you will start losing lots and lots of money. anna's newly appointed managing agent says it is reviewing the service charges for her building, but a leading estate agent says leasehold flats are becoming very difficult to sell and that the government should have considered abolishing it. and the annoying thing is we have been talking about this for 30 plus years, and certainly people who are having the poor experience of seeing their service charges double with no perceived increase in service or amenity, they certainly believe that it is a toxic market. despite this, the housing secretary rejects abolition. i prefer to look at big, practical steps that will improve the lives of leaseholders. making sure that the room for exploitation is squeezed until it no longer exists is critical. the real challenge here, though, with abolishing leasehold with a stroke of a pen is the complexity.
1:18 pm
a complexity which means that many of the millions of leaseholders in england and wales say, despite the government's proposed protections, they will remain financially exposed and trapped. phil hendry, bbc news. the time is 13.18. our top story this afternoon. the prime minister condemns controversial remarks by the former deputy tory party chairman lee anderson. and still to come... iam i am live in brussels where the police say round 900 tractors are now blocking the streets, farmers have come here from across europe. they say they want european politicians to change policy and they are demanding coming up on bbc news. england threatened to pull off a famous victory in ranchi, but it wasn't to be, as india sealed the series with a five wicket win on the fourth
1:19 pm
day of the fourth test. police have adopted a new tactic in their fight against anti—social behaviour — it's called a trojan bus. undercover officers in south shields pretend to be passengers in what they say is an innovative way of tackling problems such as vandalism and disorder. 0ur north of england reporter, rowan bridge, has the story. behaviour like this causes fear and intimidation for communities across the country. children causing misery for those who are targeted. tonight, we've joined the fight against it in south shields. this is northumbria police's trojan bus. it gives the element of surprise. would you go down fowler street for us? they've got on the platform
1:20 pm
at the train station. it allows them to get close to trouble without being recognised. we're justjumping back on the metro to go down towards the city centre. this is the new front line in tackling anti—social behaviour. we'll quickly go through the briefing for our operation tonight on the trojan bus. tonight's operation began a few hours earlier, with a briefing at south shields police station. as you can see, they're just running through the operation at the moment. now it's an ordinary stagecoach bus that's going to be driving around, but it won't be on a normal bus route. instead, it's going to target areas that are hotspots for anti—social behaviour. we've been out less than an hour, and already police are dealing with trouble at the bus station. i've spoke to his mam, she's aware of the search. i've told her she can come down the station and get to see the body worn if she wants to. children letting off fireworks. so you have to leave right now, right? they're handed a dispersal order and banned from the area. how effective is a dispersal order in trying to tackle these sorts of problems? yeah, it's very effective.
1:21 pm
itjust shows by, we've dealt with it there and then, they've getten given a chance to look. they might have found themselves in a little bit of bother with the wrong group. this is your chance to go, leave the area, and you won't find yourself in bother. it's this kind of low level crime that blights lives. it seems to be getting a lot worse at the moment around the area, especially down to the seafront and that at the moment. the last couple of weeks, there's been a couple of teenagers smashing all the windows and that. people don't want to come out at night, basically, because of it. terrible. when you get on, it's full of them. they're on their bikes, - and the abuse and the language isjust terrible. they're all on their vapes. they're awful. they've got no respect for anybody and they're just abusive. _ it's horrible. they're going on one wheel, running in from of you. we've been in greggs and they've just went in and pinched all the sandwiches, all the pop and nobody�*s , we've come and told the security and nobody�*s doing anything. they're a waste of time. the next calls come in and we're back at the bus station.
1:22 pm
you go that way. they're in hot pursuit. police! stop where you are. give us that laser. he's11t and accused of shining a laser pen at drivers and a police officer. it was green. when you shone it in my eye, i could have caused an accident. i could have killed myself or killed somebody else. you think that's funny? everyone's using them. do you think that's funny? no. no, it's not. it's a criminal offence. if i had my way, i'd lock you up, but we're not going to lock you up, right? police say they're determined to drive out the problem, but it's not yet been left in the rear—view mirror. so there's still a need for tactics like this, to confront the scourge of anti—social behaviour. rowan bridge, bbc news, south shields. the un secretary—general, antonio guterres, has said nothing can justify what he described as the "collective punishment" of the palestinian people in gaza, and he's warned israel against any military operation in the southern gazan city of rafah. meanwhile, there are widespread reports that a framework for a temporary ceasefire has been formulated.
1:23 pm
well, jenny hilljoins us from jerusalem. jenny. what do you think the chances are oaf a ceasefire now?— oaf a ceasefire now? well, if you listen to the _ oaf a ceasefire now? well, if you listen to the israelis _ oaf a ceasefire now? well, if you listen to the israelis and - oaf a ceasefire now? well, if you listen to the israelis and the i oaf a ceasefire now? well, if you listen to the israelis and the us. listen to the israelis and the us you will hear cautious optimism. there were talks in paris over the weekend, between israel, the us, egypt and qatar and the us national security adviser said the talks resulted in what he described as the basic contours of a deal, that is a framework, but hamas have yet to respond to this framework, and there are still a lot of extremely contentious details to be negotiated. so difficult to put a timescale on this, difficult really to predict whether it could all coming to just as easily, could still fall apart. coming to just as easily, could still fallapart. in coming to just as easily, could
1:24 pm
still fall apart. in the meantime, binyamin netanyahu, the israeli prime minister has repeated his assistance he plans to go ahead with assistance he plans to go ahead with a major ground offensive in rafah, thatis a major ground offensive in rafah, that is causing huge concern among foreign governments and aid agencies who describe the conditions in gaza as dire but say that the consequences of that grand invasion could be catastrophic, the israeli military has said to have presented ministers with a plan for evacuation of civilians, we don't have any details and israel has repeatedly said it would get civilians out of harm a way before an invasion and it has repeatedly failed to give details of such a plan. thank you jenn . the hungarian parliament is expected to ratify sweden's membership of nato later today, the last of the 31 alliance members to do so. hungary's nationalist government, led by viktor 0rban, had been blocking it, claiming that politicians in stockholm were unfairly criticising its democratic
1:25 pm
standards. hungary came under heavy diplomatic pressure from the us and uk, among others, to stop delaying swedish membership. angry farmers have brought parts of brussels to a standstill with protests in the belgian capital. they claim european union policies on farming are putting their livelihoods at risk. it comes as eu agricultural ministers meet to discus the crisis. 0ur europe correspondent, nick beake, is there for us now. nick, scenes of utter chaos in brussels today? there have been, let me give you an indication of where we are, these are some of the 900 tractors the police say have in brussels, they are clogging up the main streets that normally be busy and they are trying to deliver a message to the european union. if we walk over here you can see the commission building and also some of the police water cannon that have been brought in to
1:26 pm
douse the flames that were there on those tyres, the mound of tyres that were on fire. 23 you come with me over here, you see a lot of farmers have moved their protests to this part of the city, and the smoke is billowing across brussels. if you come this way you might be able to make out the stand—off that is taking place at the moment, between the police and some of the farmers, in terms of the politics of what is going on, well, they say they want a better deal, and already there have been some concessions from the european commission, i don't know if you see down there, you can see the front line at the moment as it were, the smell by lows over that row of tractor, that a friar cracker that has gone off. there is a meeting of politicians today, the european agriculture ministers and once again, the farmers will be hoping they will be getting more concessions in the days and weeks to come. , ., ., .

1:28 pm
north they will spend £2.5 billion will go to local authorities for projects here and in the midlands £2.2 million is going to be put forward. now there is a couple of important calf yacht, the move will be given to local authorities in chunk for them to decide what to spend it on, so there could be more small railway stations like this or more bus services or philpott holes of, critic says this is a reannouncement of money they said they would spend and the budget period is between 2025 and 2032, the money won't come into play until after the expected general election, which creates a bit more uncertainty on what exactly is going to happen, ben. thank you very much. danny danny savage there. cricket, and india have beaten england by five wickets in the fourth test in ranchi, to take an unassailable 3—1 lead in the series. it's england's first series defeat under ben stokes' captaincy,

and maintains india's unbeaten home record that dates back to 2012. joe wilson reports. monday morning, ranchi looks sedate — almost. india's chase would be controlled by the captain, rohit sharma, at his speed. well, if that was his approach to winning the game, england's captain could see himself in it. yashasvi jaiswal thrived, too, until... gone! england's best fielders had to excel, and yes, that's stilljames anderson. now rohit lured, edged, caught, also stumped. bowler tom hartley, remember in his first test series? same goes for shoaib bashir. he struck. gone! india still needed 92. ravi jadeja wiped that straight to a fielder. seriously.

india four down , no, five. sarfraz out first ball. bashir made anything seem possible for a while. now a four was greeted like a lost friend, hours since the crowd had last seen one, and crucially, the wicket stopped, and even the most optimistic tourist saw reality. after extreme patience, shubman gill released the tension. dhrquurel�*s partnership with gill took india home. so india win the series. two emerging players who matured when it mattered. england's mistakes came earlier in this game. the series is now lost, however gallantly england, at times, have competed. joe wilson, bbc news. within the last few minutes, it's been announced that everton's punishment for breaching premier league financial rules has been reduced from ten points to six after an appeal. so that points deduction reduced from ten points to six
